Try These Penns Woods Winery Summer Favorites

7/27/2016

0 Comments

 
We’re busting at the seams with pride over our two new summer favorites—Bancroft Field Blend Rosé and Penns Woods Viognier Reserve 2015—which join another summer go-to, our Bancroft Moscato 2015. We’re pretty sure you won’t find a better lineup to cure a case of the hazy, hot and humids.
Picture
Our Bancroft Field Blend Rosé is a mysterious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon—yes, you read that correctly! That means this is our first dry rosé for the Bancroft line. A sip reveals that it’s light and refreshing, full of peach and slightly underripe strawberry flavors with a hint of citrus on the finish. If we had to pick one perfect summer wine … well, we’re partial to the other two, as well, but this is a winner!
​
Penns Woods Viognier Reserve 2015 comes from our estate grown Viognier. Give it a try and taste a truly complex, carefully crafted and aged wine. It’s a light-to-medium bodied white with flavors of bright cantaloupe and tropical fruit kissed with a hint of minerality at the finish. Looking for a not-the-usual white wine? This is your new best friend.
Picture
Our popular Bancroft Moscato 2015 is not overly sweet, but instead is a light-bodied wine with fruit-forward aromatics and full flavors of ripe juicy peach, pineapple and honeysuckle. Drink in its crisp effervescence, which makes it delightful with brunch or enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. All Moscatos are not created equal: this is one to savor again and again.

Stop by our Tasting Room for a glass or bottle of what will surely become your new summer favorites. Did we mention they’re perfect for quaffing at one of our weekend special events? Come out and visit: there’s a lot to do, see and drink at Penns Woods Winery.

Penns Woods Winery is a family-run Pennsylvania winery. With more than 40 years of experience in the wine business, winemaker Gino Razzi and his daughter, Carley Mack, produce award-winning wines from Pennsylvania-grown grapes. Penns Woods wines can be found in restaurants throughout Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs. Stop in to your local state store and pick from a limited selection of wines, or visit our tasting room for the full offering. The tasting room in Chadds Ford provides an all-around vineyard experience and hosts live music, food and wine pairings and other exciting events each weekend.

A Visitor’s Guide to Summer Wine Tasting at Penns Woods Winery

7/26/2016

0 Comments

 
We have your cure for summer’s oppressive, humidity-soaked days and its clear, bright respite days, too. Yup—it’s a trip to the Penns Woods Winery Tasting Room, and we’ve got tips and tricks for making the most of summer-inspired wine tasting.
Picture
Let’s face it: we get a lot of “dog days” in southeastern Pennsylvania. Our air-conditioned tasting room, shaded porch and lazy grove of trees overlooking the vineyard are the perfect spots to chill out and try some wine. We don’t offer tours of the property, but we do offer a lot of great reasons to visit:
  • Flights of five wines are available for just $10.
  • Many wines by the glass and bottle—the price depends on your choice. Glasses start at $6.50, bottles at $22.
  • Water, plus three different cheese plates boasting local cheeses and crackers, is available for purchase. (Pssst! In winter we sell chocolates, too—mark your calendar!)
  • Tons of special events on the weekends—think out-of-the-box pairings, live music and food trucks, too!
Picture
For your comfort and enjoyment, soak in these summer wine tasting dos and don’ts:
  • Do bring a picnic basket, blanket, chairs and something for the kids to do when you plan on wine tasting outside.
  • Don’t bring food into the Tasting Room or on the patio.
  • Do dress in comfy summer clothes, but bring a few layers, like a raincoat or light sweatshirt: you never know when the weather will change. Remember the umbrellas!
  • Don’t rock bathing suits or expect to engage in water sports—leave the super soakers and water balloons home.
  • Do drink plenty of water or nonalcoholic beverages so you stay hydrated in the summer heat.
  • Don’t bring any alcohol to Penns Woods! It’s not just polite; it’s the law.
Picture
New to wine tasting? No problem! Learn the ins and outs, and then leave it to our friendly Tasting Room Staff to guide you. There’s something for everyone from a just-right-chilled Chardonnay to a big, bold Proprietor’s Reserve. Dare to experiment: you won’t regret it.
Picture
At Penns Woods, we cultivate a down-to-earth, welcoming and relaxing environment for new friends and regulars alike. It’s not unusual to find our loyal regulars hanging out for an entire day sampling wines, cheese plates or food truck fare and enjoying music and good company. Ready? Take a look through our hours and house policies and plan your trip. We can’t wait to see you!
